New England Woods #1. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell.
Late-summer foliage in the New England Woods — “The Mount,” Massachusetts.
We are just back from a visit to the East Coast. We started in New York City, where we visited relatives and enjoyed a few of the city’s amenities and attractions as it gradually starts to come back to life. (It felt very different from our last visit, in the midst of the pandemic resurgence last winter.) From there we headed north to Vermont, where we spent a week with an even larger assemblage of family members — hanging out, cooking and eating together, and getting into the New England world.
Believe it or not, this was my first time visiting the states north of New York City. This California near-native, who regards our brown/golden and parched summer landscape as normal was appropriately impressed by the green of Vermont and, on a couple of brief forays, areas of Massachusetts. On this day we ventured down to Lenox to “The Mount,” the estate of Edith Wharton. We did visit the mansion, but we also spent time strolling the grounds and the gardens, where I made this photograph.

I’m very intrigued by New England now! We spent a week in southwestern Vermont, not far from Wilmington, staying with a large family group at a lodge up a gravel road. I found the landscape both intriguing (so many trees! such wonderful atmosphere!) and difficult to photograph (so many trees! the atmosphere!), but I’d sure like to work with it some more.

Looking forward to your art!!
I hope this is a very long series! Thank you for posting and glad y’all had a wonderful trip and are back home safe!
My mother was born and raised in Forest Hills New York! She loved autumn and Cortland Apples! Every year even into their late 80s my aunt would send her a box of apples every September. The package smelled so good that our mailman always joked he was going to eat them all.
